The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["McLaren, Terry" <address@concealed>]

Unfortunately, not.  I've tested a few use cases on both 6.1.23 and 6.2.62.   
In both instances the custom 'who can send' scenario below generates a 
generic system reject message vs a list's reject message.   

----- reject with message scenario -----
title.gettext closed-sendRejectMsg

true()                                    smtp,smime,md5    ->  
reject(reason='rejectMessage')
-----------------------------------------
That said,  if a list is using a moderated scenario AND the message is 
rejected by the moderator then yes, sympa uses the list's reject message.  

I also tested the closed scenario and noticed the same generic system message 
was sent for either the 'reject w/msg' or 'closed' scenarios

---- closed scenario -----
title.gettext closed

true()                                    smtp,smime,md5    -> 
reject(reason='send_closed')
------
Here's the generic system reject message:
 ----
This is an automatic response sent by Sympa Mailing Lists Manager.
Impossible to distribute your message for list 'address@concealed' 
for the following reason:

Your message for list 'test' (attached below) was rejected.
You are not allowed to send this message for the following reason:

 you are not allowed to perform this action.
For further information, please contact
'address@concealed' 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's a sample of the list's reject message 
(manage_template/ls_template/listName/reject)
-----------
Your message for list 'address@concealed' has been rejected.

This list has moved to address@concealed
-------------------------

In summary:   
- A mail list's reject message IS sent when a list is moderated and an 
inbound is rejected. (working as designed)
- The generic system close/reject message is sent when the above 
'closed-sendRejectMsg' scenario is used. 

Q:   Is there a way to send a custom reject or closed message for a list that 
has been closed by the owner?

Thank you,

Terry McLaren

Doesn't it automatically use the list specific reject template if it exists?

Hopefully you don't need to make a custom scenerio.
